Just checking on any updated tips before I send this out. Upgrading to… Chief Eng (limited) 1600 ton, with stcw cert to III/2. I’m going to tell them I want to use the old regs, I will get the classes before the Jan 2016 break off,(thats my plan anyway). Also could I put in for an Asst Eng OSV endorsement? Even thought I haven’t work on one.(all Tug/ATB time) Just thinking if I want to make a move someday to an OSV…I have looked at the past threads,maybe Ive missed one to answer these question. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Heres what I have currently. DDE Unlimited w/STCW III/1

Good luck with your upgrade, I believe you can also get chief OSV 3000itc. I will be upgrading to 1st A/E unlimited in November.

Chief limited covers you for OSVs up to 3000ITC. If I’m not mistaken, you could also just get Chief OSV tacked onto your DDE Unlimited.

I’m told that Chief OSV does not have a tonnage limitation anymore. Confirmed by the NMC. So no more 3000 ITC and 6000 ITC. Just Chief OSV.

That may be the case, I’m not sure. But chief limited would still have a 1600/3000 restriction I would think.

So much for assessment books and 2 year commitments.

Yes C/E limited does have the 1600/3000 limit. Like I said all they can say is no if I ask for it. (C/E OSV)

Hey I’m getting ready to sit for my 3rd assistant does anyone know about how many diagrams are on this exam? Like do the coastguard have a max/min they put on each subject. I appreciate any feedback.
